					as on average were cast per constituency seat in at least two of the three regions, or (c) obtained, in the
					country as a whole, at least 2% of the valid votes cast, are eligibile to participate in the second distribution
					of seats. The total number of seats to which each cartel is entitled is determined using the LR-Hare method (the
					quota equals the nationwide sum of the votes of all lists associated with qualifying cartels, divided by the
					total number of Danish seats, 175). From this total number is then subtracted the number of constituency seats
					won by associated lists in step 1. The difference gives the number of the forty supplemental seats to which the
					cartel is entitled. </td>

				<td width=38%>(3) Seats awarded to partisan cartels in step 2 are reallocated to each cartel's component constituency
					lists by a two-step procedure. Seats are first allocated to regions, by the Sainte-Lague method. Then, within
					regions, they are allocated to constituencies by another divisor method. See Johansen 1979, page 46 for details.</td>
